Top high paying jobs. Highest paid professions

When planning your life and deciding on the choice of a profession, the level of income will be important criteria for each person. Of course, this or that sphere should be the determining factor, but it is also worthwhile to think in advance how to secure a decent standard of living. Unfortunately, years of study, and then work do not always reward us with high incomes. But there are such professions that more than recoup the invested effort and time.

I spent a lot of time to determine the top 10 most highly paid professions in the world. And what was my surprise when it turned out that representatives earn the most. No, I absolutely support the fact that the work of a doctor is very responsible and honorable. And to become him, you need to study diligently for almost 10 years. Simply, in contrast to the income of our doctors, the salaries of physicians in the world look fantastic. Let's take a closer look at this topic.

1. Surgeon / Anesthetist

Just those specialists who daily save people who are on the verge of life and death. The work is complicated and exhausting. Constant stress and tension often affect the health of the doctors themselves. Understanding these difficulties, doctors around the world are respected and honored. And their salaries are adequately proportional to work. On average, a doctor can earn per year from 200 to 250 thousand  dollars. Depending on the place of work, in addition to the salary, valuable personnel can be offered good health insurance and other benefits. The largest salaries in the world are received by physicians from the USA. They say that only the president has a large salary in the country. In Europe, this is the Netherlands (253 thousand dollars). Doctors in the countries of the former Soviet Union earn the least in Europe. An average of 20 thousand euros per year. In Ukraine, a doctor at a state hospital gets about 42 thousand  hryvnia per year. In private clinics from 84 thousand hryvnia per year. If the profession of a surgeon takes 1st place  in the world then in Ukraine 10th.

2. Dentist

Another profession in the field of medicine. Everyone has teeth, and due to the fact that it’s not always possible to keep them healthy, we turn to dentists. Fortunately, progress in this branch of medicine allows us to solve any problem, even the complete absence of teeth. But treatment prices are often scared with their zeros. The dentistry profession is in great demand in recent years, and their salaries are also not small. On average, a good specialist can earn about 200 thousand  dollars a year. I think this profession is very promising, like other medical specialties. Times are changing, but people will always be sick and doctors will always have work. Dentists live, best of all, in the USA. In Ukraine, a good specialist is also in price. Private clinics offer from 120 thousand to 960 thousand  hryvnia per year, depending on the qualifications of the doctor. In the Ukrainian rating, the dentist takes 3rd place.

3. Top management

The Executive Director or General Manager bears great responsibility and performs many functions. The success of the enterprise directly depends on the qualifications of the manager. Planning, development, management - the main tasks of the chief manager. Large companies choose the most experienced and productive candidate, but the work of such people is paid quite high. Depending on the company in which he works, the director may earn about 180 thousand  dollars a year. Apart from other bonuses provided by the employer. The salary of the head depends on the level of the company. Top businesses like Apple or Oracle can afford to pay millions. In Ukraine, too, do not live in poverty. But, if you look at the job selection site, you can see that on average about 360 thousand  hryvnia. per year and it 4th placein Ukraine.

4. Software Developer

In the era of the development of the Internet and high technology, a good IT specialist is simply worth its weight in gold. Any company needs programmers. Especially now, when business is smoothly flowing into the plane of the Internet. Unlike a physician, a programmer does not need to study for 10 years, and their salaries are not much less. And if you regularly raise your skill level through courses, then the salary can reach about 160 thousand  dollars a year. And again, the USA is ahead of the rest. Great demand for programmers also generates large salaries. In Ukraine, specialists in this field can earn up to 900 thousand hryvnia for a year working for foreign companies. For our country, this is a good level of income. In Japan, for example, living is much more expensive, and the salaries of programmers are just 40 thousand  dollars. Because of this, many experts are trying to move to the United States. An interesting fact, programmers in Ukraine did not take 1st placethey got   2nd.

5. Marketer

Marketers are responsible for promoting the company's products and services. Usually, for the position of chief marketers they are looking for a candidate with a specialized education. And having skills in the IT field will be an undeniable advantage. There are hundreds of ways to find a niche for a promoted product in the market of your country or in the world. This is what marketers do. Marketing specialists at international companies can earn about 140 thousand  dollars a year. On average, the highest salaries of specialists in the USA and Australia. As the analysis of vacancies shows, in Ukraine a marketer receives about 96 thousand  hryvnia per year and the profession is located on 8th place.

6. Engineer

Engineering - this is a specialty that allows you to earn good money in any industry. High demand is for mechanical engineers, especially in European and Arab countries. But in order to receive a high salary, one must also have high qualifications. A professional in his field will find application in any industry, especially in production. An engineer can earn about a year 100 thousand  dollars. In Ukraine, an experienced engineer can count on income in 132 thousand  hryvnia per year and 7th place  in the Ukrainian rating.

7. Database Administrator

This specialist is responsible for the security and operation of the enterprise database. The database administrator must have the knowledge and skills to optimize, protect and resolve problems when working with them. After all, this is of great importance for the company. He can earn up to 80 thousand  dollars a year. But this amount is available only to specialists in the United States. Ukrainian administrators earn from 36 thousand to 360 thousand. hryvnia per year depending on the size of the company and the level of qualification. Good 5th place  in the Ukrainian rating.

8. Banker / financier

Working with big money also involves big salaries. A finance specialist is responsible for all cash transactions conducted by a bank or enterprise. Bonus to salary in 70 thousand dollars a year can also be considered as work in a relaxed atmosphere in a cozy office. But the responsibility of such workers is also impressive. In England, financiers earn about 70 thousand pounds. In Ukraine, according to a recruiting agency, the maximum level of a banker's salary is 960 thousand  hryvnia per year. This is three times less than that of English colleagues, but at the same time honorable 1st place  in Ukraine, ahead of popular programmers in Ukraine.

9. The teacher

Another discovery for me is the world salaries of teachers. She can reach 70 thousand  dollars a year, like bankers. Everywhere, the profession of a teacher is appreciated and rewarded with respect. Such salaries can be with a teacher who specializes in a particular subject and has a degree. The salaries of domestic teachers are even embarrassing to voice. Given the recent increase, the teacher’s rate now is 5 thousand 266 hryvnias  per month. For a year, our teacher earns 63 thousand  hryvnia, which is half that of his American counterpart per month. This is sad, because in the Ukrainian ranking, the teaching profession also took 9th place.

10. Designer

A web designer or graphic designer in different parts of the world can earn in different ways, but it will be unchanged that the income level of such a specialist will be above average. This profession is a vivid example of how creative personalities provide themselves with a good income. Depending on their specialization and country of residence, designers can earn about 50-70 thousand  dollars a year. This may be true for our specialists, who are lucky enough to get a job in an international company. For the rest, the level of salaries will be about 300 thousand  hryvnia per year in big cities. Despite the widespread opinion about the big earnings of web designers in Ukraine, among others, the profession took 6th place  in our ranking.

Regardless of the choice of profession, be professionals in their field. Improve your skills and gain new knowledge. The world does not stand still. Do your job well and a wise leader will never leave it without reward. And if you are interested in which professions are the most paid in Ukraine - read.

There are people who do not have enough money, which the main work brings to them. Some do not feel realized. But are there such professions in Russia in which you can move up the career ladder and get a solid salary?

According to Rosstat, in the first quarter of 2017, the average salary in the country was about 35,000 thousand rubles. At the same time, 15% of the population live in Russia below the poverty line, and another 10% are on the verge.

If you want to be rich and successful, you need to work hard, and most importantly - choose the right profession. We decided to make a rating of the highest paid professions in Russia.

Auditor, accountant

  In this position, you can earn from 60,000 thousand rubles, depending on the enterprise and the region. The amount depends on the amount of documentation with which you have to work. The auditor deals with the financial part of the business and monitors accounting. In essence, the auditor is a highly qualified accountant. Often such positions are in small enterprises where there is no huge workflow.

An employer does not need to have such a professional in their staff; you can hire a qualified freelancer. The more experience you have, how efficiently and with what volumes you can cope - these are the indicators that affect the salary of an auditor.

Sales Manager (from 40 thousand rubles per month)

  The salaries of specialists who organize wholesale sales vary greatly from region to region and also depend on the size of the company. An employee who deals with a customer base can earn from 40 thousand rubles. Other “sales people” have to develop their own pool of customers. In the first case, the applicant should have experience working with the product range, in the second - the skills of establishing contacts with potential customers.

In most cases, the manager’s salary directly depends on the volume of sales - he works for a percentage of the transaction amount. Which is beneficial to both the employer and the manager. However, almost always the sales manager has a minimum salary that allows you to stay “afloat”. This salary, depending on the region, can range from 10,000 to 50,000 rubles.

Purchasing Manager (from 50 thousand rubles per month)

  Such a specialist earns from 50,000 thousand rubles a month and more. In official duties - quality control of goods entering the enterprise, selection of suppliers, analysis of pricing policy in the market.

People with secondary specialized education in the field of trade can get a job. It is important that the applicant has a strong character, analytical skills, and the ability to make decisions quickly. We also need knowledge of the features of the customs system and logistics.

Logist (30-60 thousand rubles per month)

The logistics specialist must ensure that the goods are properly stored, delivered to the consumer at the right time and with minimal loss.

Logistician - a popular and highly paid job

The logistic salary, depending on the region, ranges from 30 to 60 thousand rubles. It is worth noting that in logistics, experience and an analytical mindset are in the foreground. Multitasking also does not hurt - you have to process several streams of information at the same time.

Internet marketing specialist (65–100 thousand rubles per month)

  The Internet Marketer must conduct market analysis, create offers, develop advertising strategies and promote the company's brand. It depends on this person whether the company will have what it now requires by the consumer.

For a salary whose level starts at 65 thousand per month, the employer wants to get a specialist with good recommendations and work experience. Education, of course, does not play a key role. A person without economic education can also work at positions, for example, a graduate of advertising specialties or sociological universities. You may not have an education at all - the main thing is to have relevant knowledge and experience and be able to apply them.

Lawyer (40-100 thousand rubles per month)

  A practicing lawyer on average receives from 45 to 100 thousand rubles a month (although this upper bar may shift depending on your experience and qualifications). Among the lawyers of the company, the most paid position is a derivative lawyer, he is engaged in the financial documentation of production. Such specialists are now paid an average of 80,000 rubles. It is especially valuable when a specialist knows international law and can accompany contracts with foreign partners.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the lawyers who work with criminal law. Work is accompanied by a certain risk if the employee is not serious about customer choice.

And here the main criterion is a good education and experience. It is worth noting that law school education is quite expensive. Logically: expensive training is a prestigious profession.

Investor Relations Specialist (150-400 thousand rubles per month)

This is a relatively new profession for the Russian market. An investor relations specialist is involved in the strategic development of the company in which he works. the profession of an IR specialist (Investment Relationships Specialist) was invented at the American company General Electrics. These people should talk about the economic success of the company and, if necessary, attract new investors.

It is important for an investor relations specialist to have economic and legal knowledge, be aware of all the company's affairs, as well as have PR skills and extensive business erudition. These are rare specialists, but their salaries are high - from 150 to 400 thousand rubles with bonuses.

Internal Communications Manager (100-200 thousand rubles per month)

  This is a new profession, which requires a lot of skills from the person who occupies such a position in the company. An internal communications manager is usually required by large companies to maintain a corporate culture and conduct events within the firm.

The internal communications manager has a boring job. He needs to organize and conduct team events, corporate events and competitions, oversee the company's Internet portal, form a company’s brand, and so on. And the salary in this position is rather big: from 100 thousand rubles a month.

Dentist (from 100 to 300 thousand rubles per month)

  The profession of a dentist is stable, timeless, and most importantly - well paid. People will always be ill and lose their teeth, which means that the services of a dentist will always be in demand.

To become a dentist, you need to study at a specialized university from 6 to 8 years, and to get a good place in a prestigious clinic, you will need to participate in professional conferences and take advanced training courses. But this is one of the most prestigious and promising professions in the labor market.

Chief accountant in a large company (from 300 to 800 thousand rubles per month)

  The chief accountant in the staff of a large company is one of the most affluent employees in the employment market. Salary (excluding bonuses) can reach up to 800 thousand rubles per month.

At the same time, the "bread" position of the chief accountant has its drawbacks: this is mainly a huge burden of responsibility for the financial statements in the company (and in the worst case, criminal prosecution. The accountant is a person financially responsible).

IT-specialist (from 60 thousand rubles a month. The upper threshold is practically unlimited)

The most profitable in Russia is the position of a programming specialist or web project manager. The salary of such people is approximately 60 thousand rubles and higher (depending on the region, profile of activity and qualifications). Now the demand for IT professionals is very high. We are surrounded by software, from supermarkets to high-tech production facilities.

The more productive the employee, the more loyal the employer. For example, in some companies a free schedule is established for such workers: the main thing is that labor is available. It doesn’t matter in which the employee goes to work - in a suit or in shorts - you need him to make a quality product. In addition, “brains”, as well as international certificates, are valued for such work.

Highest paid profession

  Forbes annually publishes a list of posts where you can get the highest salaries. By tradition, the highest paid profession among employees is the chairman of the board of a commercial bank. His salary is about 1.8 million dollars a year (and this is not counting bonuses!).

The work of the director of the analytical department of the investment bank, as well as the general director of a company that works in heavy industry, is quite profitable. Such people earn about a million dollars a year.

The highest paid profession in Russia

But is it easy to be a leader at this level? These workers have very high requirements. They should be able to speak foreign languages \u200b\u200bfluently, necessarily in English and preferably French or German. Rare foreign languages \u200b\u200blike Chinese are also held in high esteem. Such an employee should have at least 10 years of work experience, necessarily a higher education, better economic, MBA courses are desirable.

Heads of banking institutions and international companies have a lot of negotiations and should be able to correctly draw up contracts. Constantly they make strategic decisions, on which the development of the enterprise sometimes depends. Often people of such professions are stressed, work almost round the clock and do not have time for personal life and health.

But there are people for whom the size of the salary is not the most important thing in life. They want to do what they love or to benefit other people. We suggest you read an article about the rarest professions in the world, for which people can also get a lot of money.

Before a former student is entrusted with treating patients, he needs to undergo an internship - and this is another six years.
